	I ran the shell script in UPDATING; it completed.  
	Yhere was something strange that I yelped to -questions
	about.   After zero replies,, I created to missing symlinks 
	to some /usr/X11R6/lib/*  and then stuff began working.

	Is there a way of checkinf for the zillions of symbolic 
	links or should I just re-run the script?  ((If/next time
	I'll run with /bin/sh -x))

	Hmm, I see that Garrett Cooper has NO_NIS=no in /etc/make.conf,
	so that should settle that. I've also  grep'd around/etc and 
	nothing looks suspicious.   --All the nis_* flags are either
	NULL or NO.

	box.)
